Detained and deported from US for speech, a UK commentator speaks out: ‘It’s a tragedy of justice’

BREAKING: Here we go with the first allegations of violations of the preliminary injunction Judge Ellis issued on November 6 in Chicago Headline Club v. Noem: "As this Court was issuing the Preliminary Injunction on November 6, federal agents shot pepper balls at a moving car"

For far too many families, the cost of childcare is driving them out of the city they love. New Yorkers deserve to be able to afford to raise families here.

Great idea!!

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee motion to intervene to fight against the GOP effort to overturn California's new congressional map. My law firm is proud to help defend these maps from Republican attack. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

The Smithsonian announced it will reopen several of its museums tomorrow, including the National Museum of American History, the National Air and Space Museum, and the Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia, which houses historic aircraft and space artifacts.

Pope Leo urged the U.S. Catholic bishops to speak more strongly on immigration. A month later, the U.S. Catholic bishops elected a culture warrior over a borderland bishop as president. Even with an American Pope, the gap between Rome and the U.S. is still pretty wide

Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress

That dog won’t hunt

Why did Wolff keep these emails hidden for so long?

Is Trump’s McCarthy moment finally coming? A moment like the one where Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose red scare tactics held the country hostage & came close to destroying the 1st Amendment was asked by a fed-up lawyer, “Have you no decency?” joycevance.substack.com/p/but-his-em...

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

I had to watch this twice to get it.

Here’s the thing: Pam Bondi is not the Attorney General. She’s really not. She’s Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. That’s all.

It's "We the People", not "Our Acres"...

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

The Epstein petition now has a majority even without Grijalva.

In Aurora, Illinois, ICE GOONS abducted a woman on her way to work today. They also stole her car and prevented her from providing all the necessary information to concerned neighbors. (November 12, 2025)

Furious with Chuck Schumer and the Senate capitulation? Wondering if you can still believe in Democrats? Hakeem Jeffries KEPT HIS CAUCUS UNITED against MAGA He fought throughout the WHOLE SHUTDOWN He’s STILL fighting even now Don’t lose faith like the weak Senators who caved WE’RE NOT DONE YET

🚨Attn TENNESSEE!!

The most horrifying AI slop of ICE raids you can possibly imagine is wildly viral on Facebook, collectively totaling tens of millions of views from a single account. First spotted by @chadloder.bsky.social www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Venezuelans sent by Trump to El Salvador endured systematic torture, report finds

I started studying the anti-vaccine movement more than fifteen years ago along with one of my colleagues, Dr. Kacey Ernst. It was clear to us even then that this movement was organized, effective, and growing. Unfortunately, many of our colleagues at the time felt it wasn’t a problem. 1/2

Trump just claimed his tariffs have pulled in $2 trillion. Then literally hours later, he inflated that to $3 trillion. With this absurdity, he undermined his case for tariffs, revealing that he's just pulling numbers out of his ass. On the pod we dig deep into this: newrepublic.com/article/2030...

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that: (1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year (2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

While Trump declared “unending support to every victim of crime,” his administration abruptly canceled $72 million worth of grants intended to support crime survivors. bit.ly/483zmiY

Are you paying attention? MAGA Republicans are stealing from you! The vote to reopen the government includes a multi-million dollar payoff a QUID PRO QUO to 8 senator conspirators who colluded with Trump during the January 6th insurrection.

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct, per @nyt-first-said.bsky.social (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

In President Trump’s second term, the need for action against corruption has never been clearer. Join us for a Reddit AMA:

The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

Dean Fuleihan has 47 years of experience as an budget expert and counselor to mayors, governors. Asked if his decision to serve as NYC’s 1st Deputy Mayor signals a belief that Mamdani’s policy goals can be achieved, Fuleihan told The Nation: “Yes, the answer is ‘yes.’ It’s an unqualified ‘yes!’”

Michael Fanone: "I hope no American has to experience what I experienced. I've gone from dedicating 20 years of my life to the profession of law enforcement only to become a victim of the DOJ and our criminal justice system and have nowhere to seek relief."

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power. No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality. The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?
